Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 442: Mr. Sun Retires

Deputy Director Zhang entered the room and immediately noticed the scene, a smirk playing on the corners of his lips as he raised his voice, "Now that Director Gu has run into trouble, I’ll be taking over his responsibilities for the time being.

I’ve already looked into the situation in Xujia Village and seen the impact it has had on our factory.

I can understand everyone’s reaction, although it may seem a bit unsympathetic, but what can we do with the situation as it stands?

We surely can’t let Xujia Village ruin the economic development of the whole Yu County."

Director Ma felt even more confident with Deputy Director Zhang’s arrival, "Director Zhang is right, we’re just sacrificing the lesser for the greater good."

"Director Ma, I now order you to temporarily halt production in the factory in Xujia Village; the workers from Xujia Village are to take a break, with the resumption of work to be announced at a later date," Deputy Director Zhang commanded authoritatively from within the room.

He was indeed a high-ranking official, commanding such an intimidating presence that upon hearing his voice, the factory went completely silent.

Mr. Sun was seething with rage and was about to explode when Deputy Director Zhang sent a piercing glance his way.

"Mr. Sun, you’re at the retirement age now. These trifles can now be completely left to Director Ma to take care of."

"Mr. Sun, do you not trust me to handle things?" Director Ma asked from the side with a sardonic smile.

Mr. Sun’s face darkened, seeing how Deputy Director Zhang and Director Ma were ganging up against him, he realized he was being squeezed out.

It was a shame for the factory that had accumulated so much of his and Xiao Xu’s hard work, only to have finally reached this point.

"Mr. Sun, the organization has arranged for Director Ma to take your place, so it’s time to let go.

You’re getting on in years, and there have indeed been too many issues in the factory lately.

You should rest at home for the time being, and if you still wish to contribute to the factory once things return to normal, then come back," Deputy Director Zhang issued a suspension order directly.

Mr. Sun nodded expressionlessly and began to pack up his things back at his seat.

Deputy Director Zhang and Director Ma left without looking back.

Vice Factory Director Yang stood aside, his chest heaving with anger, "Deputy Director Zhang is clearly just backing up Director Ma on purpose.

It’s such a pity, Director Gu was such a good person, how could he possibly commit embezzlement or bribery.

With your departure, Mr. Sun, I’ll be left alone.

I can’t get along with Director Ma, maybe I should just leave with you."

Upon hearing Vice Factory Director Yang’s words, Mr. Sun’s expression immediately changed, "If you leave, the factory might really fall under Deputy Director Zhang’s domain, and our hard work over the past couple of years would be wasted."

Vice Factory Director Yang looked miserable, "If I don’t leave, what’s the point in staying? I suspect I might be the next one Director Ma targets.

Deputy Director Zhang’s ambition is no small matter, Director Gu’s trouble is likely related to him."

"Don’t talk nonsense," Mr. Sun warned, glancing at Vice Factory Director Yang.

His belongings were few and were quickly packed up.

As Mr. Sun left the factory with his things, many of the old employees saw him and showed their sympathy, "What a mess this is!"

"If our factory is to sever ties with Minister Xu, it looks like our business will also be finished."

"Indeed, without Xiao Xu to help us develop products, where would our factory’s glory come from?"

A few of the old employees whispered among themselves.

Director Ma and Deputy Director Zhang just happened to pass by, silently overhearing these words and wearing cold smirks on their faces.

"Don’t say anymore." One of the women immediately warned the others upon seeing Director Ma.

The people were furious, "Why can’t we speak? When Minister Xu was here, things were so much better.

He gave us raises, welfare benefits, and treated us like family.

Now Director Ma claims he’s wholly devoted to the factory’s development, but isn’t he just exploiting and oppressing us common people?

He’s no different from the capitalist bosses of the past," the woman said vehemently.

These days of constant overtime had taken their toll on her, and with her granddaughter’s illness, her home was in a mess.

"Big sister, it seems I, as the factory director, have failed to satisfy you.

If you’re so dissatisfied, why stick around? If you don’t want to work here, resign. There are plenty waiting to take this job.

Don’t be so ungrateful," Director Ma said darkly.

The old woman, hearing the voice, was scared enough to weaken, and turning her head to see Director Ma standing behind her sent her heart into a pounding frenzy.

"Director, Director Ma."

"Why have you stopped talking? It seemed like you had a lot of complaints about the factory. Why not continue?" Director Ma said, sprawling out arrogantly.

The old woman, utterly panicky, fainted from the horror under Director Ma’s gaze.

Deputy Director Zhang watched Director Ma and said sternly, "I see there are still many people in the factory who won’t toe the line.

You better hold a meeting. If they don’t comply, fire them. The factories outside are waiting to take our orders. If people here resign,

we’ll have a good reason to outsource the orders." Deputy Director Zhang spoke with gravity.

Director Ma nodded at these words and immediately convened a full leadership production meeting.

A new leader must come in with a bang, and that bang needs to be powerful.

After all the supervisors from various workshops arrived, Director Ma applied his authority, "You’ve all heard about the poisoning incident in the Xujia Village vegetable greenhouses. Now the village chief of Xujia Village is detained by the public security bureau for neglectful management that led to this incident.

Director Gu is also under investigation for corruption and bribery, which has severely affected our factory.

Our factory has a workshop in Xujia Village, which profoundly impacts us.

Many business partners are afraid of disqualifications and poisoning incidents from our factory’s products.

So now, we’re terminating our collaboration with the Xujia Village workshop."

With Director Sun aged, it’s time for him to retire. Now, I will take over his position. As for Minister Xu, given her father’s actions, the factory will definitely adopt an observational stance towards her. She is currently suspended and recovering at home.

From now on, we will also abolish the commission system in our factory. Of course, overtime pay will be given, but if I hear any more dissatisfaction with the factory, you can pack up and leave.

Our state-owned factory is not short of people. This year, many young intellectuals are returning to the cities, and there are plenty who want jobs. We won’t miss a few of you."

After finishing his speech, Director Ma directly called out the old woman from earlier in the day, gave her a lecture, and then dismissed her on the spot.

This move had scared the other employees in the factory into behaving better.

Director Ma was very satisfied with the effect.

Secretary Zhang, who had been Director Sun’s long-time secretary, was directly assigned to Vice Factory Director Yang, and Director Ma personally selected a new secretary for himself.

Secretary Zhang, relieved not to be working under Director Ma, took a deep breath and quickly sought out Vice Factory Director Yang after the meeting, "Vice Factory Director Yang, thankfully I wasn’t left under Director Ma. Otherwise, life would’ve been difficult."

Vice Factory Director Yang responded with a bitter smile, "It’s not just you who’s going to have a tough time. I am too. From now on, we’re brothers in adversity."
